Smoky, firm, and powerful, this tin collaboration tin from Wildfish and Barnacle foods delivers a memorable, flavorful experience worth repeating.

This offering, which marries Wildfish’s tinned octopus with Barnacle Foods spicy, sour, and sweet bullwhip hot sauce (a product whose main ingredient is the wild, regenerative Alaskan kelp) is local, intentional, and downright delicious.

We love atop rice with fresh herbs or folded into orecchiette with a simple sauce of shallots, garlic, tomato paste and butter.
